The First Half of Wanqing's Life

My first half of life was a wandering, and an ordeal.

From my maternal grandmother’s home in Mingxi, to the bustle of Gangcheng, and then to a rented room in Beijing.

I stayed up through the nights in my rented room in Beijing, while he held someone else beneath the warm lights of Gangcheng.

I gave him all my tenderness and hope, but when he achieved success and fame, he stood before me with someone else.
